Chapter 147: An Excuse for Insufficient Troops
Song Ke asked: "Why can't you rescue them, although there are many bandits on the mountain, they still can't resist you elite soldiers!"
Li Da only stared at Song Ke, he didn't know what to say, it wasn't that he didn't want to rescue Li Yinhong, just because once rescued, although they were said to be elite soldiers, those mountain bandits on the mountain would not be killed.
If he goes over, he can't resist those arrogant mountain bandits here, and the mountain bandits don't want the life of the emperor's eldest son, if he provokes the mountain bandits at this moment, maybe not only will he die here, but also the prince can't, of course, Li Da can't say that he is greedy for life and afraid of death.
only said to Song Ke: "I don't have enough soldiers, if I force myself to rush up the mountain, maybe the prince will still be in danger, I can only observe the terrain below, and we just met the mountain bandits when we were observing at the bottom of the mountain, when we fought with the mountain bandits, they were numerous, we must be careful, let's plan well, don't be impulsive, if the prince can't come back alive, we also want to live." ”
Song Ke felt a sense of proportion after hearing this, he knew that since he went to save people, there would be fights and even injuries, and the people brought back by Li Da were unscathed, obviously Li Da lied to him.
But his face was not revealed, he knew that if he debunked Li Da now, he would not have any good fruit to eat, so he could only pretend to be stupid and pretend not to know.
Li Da looked at Song Ke's expressionless face, and sneered a little, pretending to be so righteous, why don't you go up to the rescue, what are you pretending to be here.
Song Ke remembered what Xue Ning had said to him before, and he was on guard against Li Da in his heart, Li Da could not save the prince when he saw death, maybe he could still be used as a scapegoat at that time, if he got too close to him, maybe there would be no good fruit to eat.
Li Da saw Song Ke silent, and thought: "Is he revealing his stuff, his statement is not wrong, or don't care, hurry up and pull this fool into his camp, lest there be no witnesses when the emperor asks." ”
Li Da had a smile on his face, looking at Song Ke, Song Ke was a little puzzled, this Li Da had always been either arrogant or stinky to him, how could he have such a smiling face.
Looking at Song Ke's temptation, Li Da smiled and said: "Brother Song, you see that we have known each other for a few days, I really lack troops and can't come forward to rescue, we almost had more than enough strength when we fought with the mountain bandits just now, I could only watch the mountain bandits leave in front of our eyes, I almost died at that time." ”
Looking at Li Da's miserable appearance, Song Ke pursed the corners of his mouth, this person's ability to open his eyes and say nonsense is really big, he can make up such a story, if he doesn't know that there will be some scars in the fight, these people come back in good spirits, Li Da does not have many soldiers, and the number of mountain bandits on the mountain is extremely large, if they really fight, how can they be unscathed, and how can the mountain bandits not rob their finances at all.
Li Da was dressed in wealth, how could the mountain bandits let him go, but Song Ke knew that he couldn't say these words, since Li Dadu had already thrown an olive branch to him, he wanted to see what Li Da was going to do.
Li Da smiled, rubbed his palms and stepped forward, and said to Song Ke: "Let's think of a way to design Xue Ning then, if we don't have this insider, we will collude with that confession at that time, and when the time comes, if the saint asks, we also have a way to deal with it." ”
Looking at Song Ke's silent appearance, Li Da smiled again and said: "Little brother, don't worry, I will take care of these things, as long as you arrange these things with me, the glory and wealth in the back are really waiting for us to enjoy, and the benefits that the second prince has given us are really quite a lot." ”
Song Ke said worriedly: "Are you sure that the Holy Lord will not pursue this matter, we will be considered derelict in our duties in the future, and it can even be said that we will not be able to protect the life of the prince, if Xue Ning is arrested this time, what will the people in the capital think of us." ”
Li Da was a little silent, he really hadn't thought about these things, he was just thinking about the benefits, but the second prince would definitely thank him, the eldest prince had been fighting with the second prince for so long, if the saint died suddenly, maybe the second prince with the support of the queen would directly ascend the throne, but it was not a matter of a day or two that the saint liked the eldest prince, he was indeed a little entangled, the eldest prince didn't like him, if he followed the eldest prince, it would be impossible to be promoted to the knighthood, he wanted to gamble.
Li Da's eyes were firm, Song Ke didn't know what he had figured out, what Li Da said did make him a little excited, but he was not the kind of brainless person, although Li Da listed all the benefits, but what he didn't think of was what to do after failure, if the eldest prince found out about these things, he would definitely not let go of these two plotters.
Seeing that Song Ke was still hesitant, Li Da made up his mind and asked directly: " At that time, the second prince will thank us and give us a promotion to the knighthood, after all, in addition to such a big scourge, let her also fall into the mountain bandits when the time comes, as long as we don't go to the rescue, and when the time comes, we will inform the second prince of this matter, and the rest of the things will not have to be dealt with by us, we can wait for good news, we don't need to be officials in these small cities and counties, and then both of us can enter the palace to meet the saint, as long as we take refuge in the second prince's backer, it is really a straight waist. ”
Li Da looked at Song Ke with some flattery, he wanted Song Ke to agree, so that he would have more helpers, the plan might have more chances of success, he had experienced the ruthlessness of the mountain bandits, if they didn't believe it, the eldest prince would not be alive, he had already paved the road behind, just waiting for this plan to be implemented, but Song Ke was silent, he didn't know how to choose.
Li Da looked at Song Ke a little shaken, and said with a smile again: "I have already planned those things, I will send you, when the time comes, we will design, if Xue Ning breaks in, we will retreat and not rescue, and directly create some riots, when the time comes, the mountain bandits will definitely kill the two Xue Ning, and then there will be no proof of death, and I will erase all our traces, you can rest assured to join our camp." ”
